Withings, a pioneer of the connected health movement, has just introduced Body Smart, the latest addition to its smart scale lineup.
Withings Body Smart Scale
The Withings Body Smart Scale provides multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), precision weight sensors, and advanced algorithms delivering insights and health analysis, the entry-level scale provides a big bang for the buck.
It provides precise weight and body composition analysis as well as advanced health measurements, including heart rate, visceral fat, metabolic age*, and basal metabolic rate*.
The Body Smart adds an affordable entry point to the other Withings smart scales – the Body Comp and Body Scan.
Body Smart connects to the Withings app to help users track trends and measurements over time, follow progress, and receive detailed health advice and assessments as well as daily inspiration for long-term progress.
BMR Measurement
Withings Body Smart scale will also be able to measure Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).
BMR is the number of calories the body burns at rest, and it provides valuable information about the user’s overall metabolic health.
By measuring BMR, users can better understand their overall health and make informed decisions about their diet and exercise. Body Smart also uses this to calculate metabolic age, comparing how many calories a body burns at rest with others in an age group. These features will be available from May 2023 onwards, following an automatic update.
Eyes Closed
In another first, Body Smart features a colour screen that displays all the relevant information; however, for the timid, those preferring to be more discreet, or people who dare not look, it features an Eyes Closed Mode.
In Eyes Closed Mode, the user’s weight is tracked in the accompanying Withings app but does not appear on the screen. Instead, users see encouraging, motivating messages or daily information such as step counts, air quality, and the weather.
In the UK, Body Smart will be available in Q3 2023 on www.withings.com, is priced at £99.95 and comes in black or white.
I love tech and gaming, and am always looking for the ‘next big thing’…
